Economic justice

Quakers want an economic system that has equality, justice and environmental sustainability at its heart.

We take action to help to create this economy. Friends challenge unjust economic structures. We work to build positive, practical alternatives - nurturing a new economy within the old. We strive to learn more about our economic system to inform and inspire our witness.

Quakers say that 'The global economic system is posited on continued expansion and growth, and in its pursuit of growth it is often unjust, violent and destructive' (Minute 23, 2011).
